Democratic Party: "Han Deok-su Acting PM Neglects Duty Again by Siding with Insurrection, Reported"

The Democratic Party of Korea pressured on the 23rd, stating, "Acting President Han Deok-su should request the recommendation of candidates for the permanent special prosecutor today and promulgate the Special Prosecutor Act on the Rebellion and the Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Geon-hee."

Cho Seung-rae, the senior spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a briefing that day, "Acting President Han is ignoring the request for an investigation by the permanent special prosecutor to punish the December 3 rebellion."

Spokesperson Cho pointed out, "It has been 13 days since the request for investigation by the permanent special prosecutor passed the National Assembly, and 10 days since Prime Minister Han assumed the role of acting president," adding, "The law clearly states that the request for candidate recommendations for the special prosecutor must be made without delay."

He continued, "However, Acting President Han has not yet requested the recommendation of candidates as of this time," criticizing, "This is a clear violation of the law and obstruction of the investigation. Although Han verbally says that the martial law was wrong, is he secretly dreaming of prolonging the rebellion?"

Spokesperson Cho said, "Acting President Han was already on the side of the rebellion, not the people, during the night of the December 3 rebellion," and added, "If he sides with the rebellion again this time, it will never be tolerated."

He further stated, "Acting President Han should request the recommendation of candidates for the permanent special prosecutor today and promulgate the Special Prosecutor Act on the Rebellion and the Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Geon-hee," emphasizing, "The Democratic Party will consider all means and methods, including filing charges against Acting President Han Deok-su for dereliction of duty, to ensure a swift and thorough punishment of the rebellion."

The Democratic Party's demands to Acting President Han are mainly threefold. First, the promulgation by the 24th of the 'Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Geon-hee,' which targets 15 suspicions including Mrs. Kim's Deutsche Motors case, and the 'General Special Prosecutor Act on the Rebellion' concerning President Yoon Seok-youl's emergency martial law rebellion acts; second, the request for the recommendation of candidates for the 'Permanent Special Prosecutor'; and third, the swift appointment of constitutional court judges who will decide on the impeachment of President Yoon.
